Prayer 701

Come, Most Holy One, come into our hearts and make them your home.
Kindle a fire within our hearts that we may blaze with Christ's love,
sending forth his light in the world.

Help us to perceive the light of
Christ in others, and dry the tears of those who weep or worry. Help us,
O God, to treasure those who are in our lives as friends and companions
on your Way of justice and peace. Help us, O Spirit of Peace, to build
the kingdom of God within our hearts and within our lives.

Give your
holy angels charge over those who turn their faces to heaven in praise
or in need. Send the light of hope to shine forth over those who seek
You, Love Incarnate, Holy God, drawing into your arms those we now name.
